SAS Investors focuses on seed- and early-stage technology-based ventures that address market problems of significant size. Recognizing the importance of real and workable partner relationships, SAS Investors seeks to work with management teams based in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region. SAS Investors leverages the close geographic proximity of its investments to take an active role in each company's particular development needs.
SAS Investors actively seeks fully defensible technologies borne out of high-tech labs and corporate/university caliber research and development centers. However, strong IP is not in itself sufficient for an investment consideration. SAS Investors aims to invest in companies with relevant technical experts already on board: experienced industry and technology transfer experts, Ph.D. subject matter experts, professionals with expertise in specific emerging technologies, and/or original inventors. In short, SAS Investors works to launch companies that provide expert-conceived, cutting-edge technologies that specifically address palpable industry obstacles.
The Fund's activities include venture investing, building new businesses, and growing entrepreneur's technologies and intellectual property into solvent, scalable companies.
SAS Investors believes that by concentrating resources and working closely with entrepreneurs in an open dialogue, better companies will get to market faster. This strategy, coupled with the firm's disciplined focus on pure, differentiated technologies, provides an informed and fast-track approach to unhindered growth and stability.
